DES MOINES -- A pair of local boys will be bringing State Track and Field hardware home Saturday night.

AGWSR's Austin Heitland won the Class 1A 400-meter dash Thursday while Gladbrook-Reinbeck's Eric Stoakes won the 400-meter hurdles Friday. Heitland's title was part of a big Thursday morning session for the senior, as he also qualified for Saturday's 100- and 200-meter dash finals.

Stoakes is Gladbrook-Reinbeck's first state track champion since Ryan Harms won the 1,600-meters in 1995.

This story will be updated later. Full state track and field coverage will be printed in the May 29 Grundy Register.
